Welcome

Welcome to the 43rd Annual Boston University Conference on Language Development (BUCLD). Since 1976, BUCLD has been organized by graduate students in Boston University’s Programs in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics. With years of student work and the help of faculty advisors, the conference has become one of the largest international gatherings of linguists, psychologists, and other researchers of language acquisition and development. We thank our participants for the research accomplishments they have shared with us over the past four decades.

ProceedingsOnce again this year we will be publishing the Proceedings of the Conference, which includes papers presented and those selected for alternate status. Information about ordering copies is available in your handbook and at the Cascadilla Press table during the book exhibit.

Here at Boston University, we are committed to providing an ongoing forum for work in the diverse field of language development. We hope you enjoy the conference!

Acknowledgements

The Boston University Conference on Language Development is organized each year by students from the Programs in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics. Every year, we depend upon the proceeds generated by registration and exhibition fees to cover the costs of hosting the conference, and we are very grateful to all of our participants for providing this support. We are also grateful for support from Boston University’s Vice President and Associate Provost for Research. In addition, this year’s conference is supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. BCS-1728962, and by the National Institutes of Health under Grant No. R13 HD090968, for which we are also grateful.

We would like to thank the many graduate and undergraduate students who contributed their time and effort both throughout the past year and during this weekend. We are particularly thankful to the faculty and staff of the Program in Linguistics for their support and encouragement.

We extend special thanks to our faculty advisors, Charles Chang, Paul Hagstrom, and Amy Lieberman. Their expertise and guidance have been invaluable.

We would also like to acknowledge the efforts of several vital offices at Boston University. Our thanks go to Samantha Levine of Events and Conferences, whose skill and experience have provided us with the proper equipment, facilities, and refreshments for the conference. We would also like to thank Jeanette Ocampo Welch of Disability Services for assisting with organizing the American Sign Language interpretation, and Stan Gurczak of Student Production Services for coordinating the lighting system for the interpreting team. Finally, our thanks go to Cameron Samuelson for her support in managing the conference finances, and to Lisa Wong in the Cashier’s Office and Liz Maguire of Information Services and Technology for collaborating with us on the maintenance of our online registration system.

Finally, we would like to thank the reviewers listed below who read and rated the abstract submissions we received this year. The high quality of the abstracts makes it especially difficult to assemble a program. We are particularly grateful for the reviewers’ thoughtful attention to each submission.Shanley AllenRaquel AndersonInbal ArnonSudha ArunachalamEmily AtkinsonDavid BarnerIsabelle BarrièreEwelina BarskiLilia BartolomeEdith BavinElika BergelsonChristina BergmannTim BeyerPatrick BolgerEllen BroselowJoyce Bruhn de GaravitoJennifer Cabrelli AmaroHelen Cairns

Code of Conduct

To help ensure a safe and respectful environment for everyone at BUCLD, all conference participants (including attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and volunteers) are expected to uphold the following code of conduct at conference venues and conference-related social activities. (Of course, we think people should uphold this code outside conference activities too!)

BUCLD is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form at any conference venue, including talks, workshops, receptions, and social media. Conference participants who engage in harassing behavior may be expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.

Harassment includes, but is not limited to:• verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion, and/or nationality• sexual images in public spaces• deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following• harassing photography or recording• sustained disruption of talks or other events• inappropriate physical contact• unwelcome sexual attention• advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the BUCLD organizers may take any action they deem appropriate to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning the offender, expelling them from the conference with no refund, and banning them from the conference in the future. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please report this as soon as possible, either personally or anonymously. You can make an anonymous report through our online form: https://bucld.wufoo.com/forms/zcuymsl1esu7xa/. Although we cannot follow up on an anonymous report with you directly, we will fully investigate it and take whatever action is necessary to prevent a recurrence.

You can also speak directly with any member of the BUCLD organizing committee at the conference. These individuals, including the BUCLD faculty advisors (Charles Chang, Paul Hagstrom, and Amy Lieberman; contact information below), will be wearing special name badges. You can also call or message the organizing committee at 347-77-BUCLD (monitored by a member of the organizing committee throughout the conference). When taking a personal report, we will ensure you are safe and cannot be overheard; this may involve other event staff to ensure your report is managed properly. Once safe, we will ask you to tell us about what happened. This can be upsetting, but we will handle it as respectfully as possible, and you can bring someone to support you. You will not be asked to confront anyone, and we will not tell anyone who you are.

Additionally, BUCLD staff will be happy to help conference participants contact venue management or local law enforcement, to provide escorts, or to otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration


of the conference. We value your attendance, and wish everyone a stimulating and enjoyable conference.
